Tartarin of Tarascon
Book Description
Dealer Notes
Translated by Jacques Le Clercq, it was designed and illustrated by W. A. Dwiggins, whose drawings appear as “artist’s notes at the end of each chapter” (‘Bibliography’ ibid), and his detailed involvement with every step of the production included designs for the endpapers and the gilt spine-decorations.
“The basic aim of the Club ... [was] to reissue the world’s great classics; to maintain the highest standards of literary excellence in the choice of titles and in the texts themselves; to achieve these ends by enlisting the talents of the world’s ablest book designers, illustrators, printers, and binders.” (Cf. ‘Introduction’ to ‘Quarto-Millenary’)
